Chocolate gifting guide: pick the perfect box for every personality

Chocolate consistently ranks among the top three favorite gastronomic gift categories internationally. According to data from the European Confectionery Association (CAOBISCO), over 60% of European consumers choose cocoa products when looking for an elegant present.

Getting it right requires matching the intensity of the cocoa, the texture of the filling, and the type of occasion with the recipient’s personality. So, from Let’s Chocolaat, we present a general guide to help you when choosing a gift as delicious as chocolates.

Chocolates to gift by personality

• For a gourmet profile: Dark chocolate pralines with over 70% cocoa. Like our Dark Issimo or Gianduja varieties.
• For romantic occasions or anniversaries: Let’s Chocolaat’s Praliné Cremino is a surefire choice.
• To bring to a dinner party: The Black & White version is ideal for satisfying the diverse tastes of your guests. You can also choose a box with a selection of all our flavors.
• For curious or innovative profiles: Pistachio chocolates, one of the latest trends.

Frequently Asked Questions about gifting chocolates (FAQs)

How many chocolates should a gift box contain?
For an individual treat or courtesy gift, between 4 and 8 chocolates. If the gift is intended for a dinner party of 4 to 6 people, between 12 and 24 pieces is the best option.

What chocolates should I buy if I don’t know the person’s preferences?
Always opt for an assortment of traditional praline chocolates (hazelnut or almond). These flavor profiles have the highest satisfaction rate. However, avoid allergy risks, such as nuts. If you are unsure or don’t know the recipient’s preferences, avoid them and focus on nut-free chocolate options.

At what temperature should chocolates be served to appreciate their flavor?
The ideal tasting temperature ranges between 18 °C and 21 °C. If consumed cold directly from the fridge, the aromatic fats in the cocoa are blocked, and your taste buds won’t perceive the nuances of the filling.
